Clinical aspects of using non-invasive nasal ventilation in patients after COVID-19 complicated by bilateral multisegmental pneumonia

Abstract

A clinical experience of using non-invasive nasal ventilation in patients after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complicated by bilateral multisegmental pneumonia. It has been shown that, against the background of medication therapy, there is a restoration of ventilation-perfusion relationships in lung atelectasis areas, which is confirmed by spirometry and chest computed tomography. Implementation of non-invasive nasal ventilation against the background of drug therapy to restructure diffuse pulmonary fibrosis allows to accelerate the onset of dynamic exercise due to improved exercise tolerance.
